The reason is that it's using a combination of real-time head position monitoring and elaborate real-time reverberation and spatial location algorithms, which you can hear, hence is a problem, because it arbitrarily changes what you should be hearing, which is the raw audio with no arbitrary changes, enhancements, or modifications. īased on (a) what I know about Panorama 3D, which appears to be similar to Waves Nx, and (b) listening to the audio for the Waves Nx plug-in videos at the Waves website, I do not think the Waves Nx plug-in will be useful. You will observe that the NOTION 5 Mixer by default does not keep itself 'in front' (or 'on top'), so you might try setting the respective 'on top' option in NOTION 5 to determine if this makes any difference. Īfter watching a few of the Waves videos, my best guess is that the Nx 'helper' application is the culprit in the NOTION 5 scenario due to the way it arbitrarily keeps itself 'in front', which it has to do for the real-time camera monitoring. The primary difference is the addition of the camera-based Nx 'helper' application which runs in real-time and tracks your head position and reports this to the Nx plug-in. Nx – Virtual Mix Room over Headphones (Waves) appears to be similar to Panorama 3D (Wave Arts). This looks like an interesting puzzle, so as time allows I will use SuperDuper! (Shirt Pocket) to clone the primary hard drive on my Mac Pro and then will do some experiments with the newly cloned drive, which is he ideal strategy for doing experiments with software that appears to cause unusual problems. I am a great fan of Notion but the piling on of annoyances is making me ripe for departure. Looks like it's time for a back-up restore. The mixing effect is subtle with good headphones but, I think, worthwhile and there are only hours left for the offer ($49) It may work in Notion but the absence of a mix window prevents finding out. Both problems persist with a re-installation of Notion.Īs to the NX simulator, it works perfectly in Logic, Studio One and Overture 5. Also, since well before this, Notion always opens with a Crash window whether the previous use involved a crash or not.

The real problem is that, since the installation, Notion's mixing panel always comes up as a blank box. Which appears in my Library folder as both a VST 2 and VST 3 plug-in. The installation forced the update of Waveshell 9.3 (which was working perfectly with Notion) to 9.6 I downloaded the demo but it expired before I checked it out and had to make the purchase blind. Waves has a promotion on their NX simulator that purports to deliver the sound of a perfect mix room while mixing on headphones.
